Despair - a fiftywords story
Listen.
Can you hear it?
All trust breaks.
Tiny pieces scattered everywhere - tarnished half-truths.
Black is white and white is darkness.
What once was, is not and what is, is it?
Sailing slowly on the seas of change, smiling, unaware that I am travelling headlong into a storm - the abyss.
This is my entry into @jayna's #fiftywords contest. A little darker than usual for me this week.
Thanks for reading.

I fear I shall be a little darker here where my wings rust and melt into the sun of this...
Thanks @wales... Is that a quote from someone or your own words? Either way, the sentence carries a lot of weight..
Always and ever only my own words from my heart
Very eloquent indeed

I have felt this feeling before. Perhaps not by the same ways as most. A feeling hard to overcome. Great writing, thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much for the comments, trust is so important, and when it's broken, it is difficult to deal with..
Tip!
Thanks!

Yes, you did kind of travel into a darker zone with this one! Sometimes that is where our words take us.
Indeed, I see the prompt, and usually know where I am going to go with it almost instantly..
Nicely done! I love how the feel of the narrative pulls you down with it.
Hey, thanks a lot of the read and feedback. Much appreciated...

But once thou gazed long into the abyss, did the abyss gaze back into thee?
The abyss is to be avoided.... I'd be afraid to look at into it for too long..
